depending on configuration, visibility would suck. they are too wide in my opinion. plow mounts would have to be custom fabricated, and good luck getting parts at the local napa. i'm sure there are many other cons to them. this is in addition to all the red tape you'd have to get through if you try to get it on the road legally. plus they're ugly.

i'd take any 3/4 ton pickup over one of these.

Too wide?

My god, new trucks keep getting bigger and wider all the time. I can barely squeeze my 05' F-150 into the drive lanes at banks, let alone parking spaces.

And Ugly? Slap a coat of paint on it, and make it work. Doesn't have to be pretty to make you money. I don't understand why guys are so obsessed over the look of a truck. It's work truck, and that's all it is.

And that is why you get a dealer license and plates. Throw a dealer plate on it and bam..problem solved. Plate and insurance cover all vehicles owned. Bill of sale shows ownership. Fab up a plow mount and put a 10ft pusher on it with a 2 yard spreader...sweet!!!!

The hummers have been available for along time. My buddy's dad had one back in 2000. It was old at that time. It had a 6.2 and was slow,cold,and noisy. They also had an M37 and deuce and a half (M35 ?). We used to run around in the M37 quite a bit, that was fun to drive. We finished his dad's motor conversion putting a 350 in it. The deuce and a half was neat but pointless for anything other than running around for fun. Working with old military trucks would be a pain. You can get them cheap but getting parts used to be a pain to get. I'm sure it's easier these days with the internet. Even for cheap I wouldn't want to work in an ex military truck. Like I said earlier they are not very operator friendly. The hummer they had didn't have seat cushions ,just cloth like a cheap lawn chair ! One night plowing in any of the trucks mentioned and I would be asking to go on a shovel crew l.o.l.

I could never figure out why guys made such a big deal out of those things. Just like when the H2 came out in the mid 2000's and everybody was raving about it, I just rolled my eyes. I think a slightly modded K4500/5550 chassis would be better option if you want a beastly plow truck; one of those would be primitive and clumsy as hell.

Humvees have an insane high ground clearance four wheel drive independent suspension construction, they can climb a vertical wall. Its not just a militaristic pickup. I wouldnt plow in it over my lariat, but i sure would put a crew in it
